Application filed A ril 1a, was, Serial No.

With this object in view my invention 0011- 4 sists' in securing rigid bodies preferably made from veneer or other light and strong material to the ends ofthe pneumatic ring,

the said bodies being in the form of the bow or stern of the boat. In the preferred construction the said bodies are providedwith means for securing a keel thereto.

For the purpose of explaining the invention an example embodying the same has Y been shown in the accompanying drawing, in which the samereference characters have been used in all the views to'indicate corre sponding parts. In said drawing,

,Fig. 1, is an elevation of the boat,

Fig. 2, is a top-plan view, Fig. 3, is a bottom view, Fig. 4 is an end View, and

Fig. 5, is a section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1. 'In the example shown in the drawing the hull of the boat comprises an elongated pneumatic annular tube 1 provided with a valve 2 for expanding the same b means of compressed air. 2 The length of t e annular tube is nearly equal to the length of the hull audits breadth is equal to thebreadth oi the hull. The bottom 3 of the boat consists of a late of rubber, canvas, raw hide, or the liBe, lued or otherwise secured to the bottom 0t the pneumatic tube, and an inner lining 4 preferably made from boards or slats of wood-arrangedin the manner of a certain rigidity to the bottom.

" or otherwise secured, which stern and bow arein the form of tapering hollow bodies made from veneer or similar li ht and strong material. By thus providing the hull with a sternand a bow the resistance of the water is reduced, and the hull is braced. I

I claim:

and expansible annular tube and'bow and stem members, each open at the inner end and tapering toward the outer end, the ends pf the said inflatable tubes being arranged in the open inner ends of said .bow and stern members and secured thereto.
